ORDER OF THE BOARD (by K.M. Hennessey):
This matter comes before the Board on the petition of the Greater Rockford Airport
Authority (petitioner) for an adjusted standard from 35 Ill. Adm. Code 814 Subpart D, filed
on June 13, 1997. As required by Board rules, petitioner filed a certificate of publication on
July 18, 1997. See 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.712.
On July 3, 1997, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed a motion
for extension of time to file a response to the petition, which was due on July 14, 1997. The
Agency sought an extension to July 31, 1997. See 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.714. The petitioner
has not filed any response to the motion. The Board grants the motion and orders the Agency
to file a response to the petition on or before July 31, 1997.
Petitioner has requested a hearing under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.705(j). The Board
accepts the petition for hearing. A hearing officer will be assigned to schedule and conduct the
hearing after the Agency files its response. If the parties fail to agree on a hearing date, or the
hearing officer is unable to consult with the parties regarding a hearing date, the hearing
officer may unilaterally schedule a hearing.
The hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the Board of the time and location of the
hearing at least 40 days in advance of hearing so that public notice of the hearing may be
published. After the hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an exhibit list, a statement
regarding the credibility of the witnesses, and all exhibits to the Board within five days of the
hearing. The hearing officer also shall set a schedule for the filing of any post-hearing briefs.
The hearing officer and parties are encouraged to expedite this proceeding as much as possible.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
